Key Takeaways

1. Defining Christian Nationalism: Faith, Nation, and Dominion

Our mission is to protect free speech online for all people by pioneering, building, and funding a Parallel Christian Society in order to take dominion and disciple all nations for the glory of God.

A Christian Identity. Christian Nationalism asserts that one must first be a Christian to be a Christian Nationalist, though non-Christians can be sympathetic. It is a movement grounded in Christian faith, aiming to order state governments to foster Christianity's growth and preserve Christendom—a Christian understanding of civilization. This framework supports a functional separation of church and state (secularity), allowing religion to influence government, but rejects absolute secularism that demands religion stay out of politics.

Voluntary Conversion, Moral Law. While Christian Nationalism does not advocate for forced conversion, it upholds the duty to apply Christian morality through law when activities pose a danger to society, provided it doesn't create an unchristian police state. This allows non-Christians to live freely and practice their faiths within a Christian state, respecting denominational differences among Christians. The movement recognizes the United States as a union of states, each with the right and duty to apply laws suited to its people, consistent with the Christian principle of subsidiarity.

Beyond Politics. Christian Nationalism is more than a political stance; it is a spiritual, social, and economic movement. It encourages supporting Christian businesses and building alternative systems free from secular influence. This holistic approach aims to establish a Christian society grounded in a Biblical worldview, guiding Christians to take dominion and disciple their families, churches, and nations for the glory of Jesus Christ.

2. America's Christian Roots: A Historical Imperative

These United States were founded as a Christian Nation.

Founding Intent. The historical record unequivocally shows that the American colonies were established as explicitly Christian nations, not secular, pluralistic entities. From Roanoke in 1585 to Jamestown in 1606, and Plymouth in 1620, charters and founding documents consistently articulated the goal of advancing the Christian faith and establishing Christian societies. The First Amendment's Establishment Clause, often misinterpreted, was intended to prevent a federal religion, respecting the existing state religions of the colonies, which were predominantly Protestant Christian.

State-Level Christianity. For centuries, many individual states maintained established churches and religious requirements for public office.

  • Virginia: Anglican (1606-1786)
  • Massachusetts: Congregationalist (1629-1833)
  • Maryland: Catholic then Anglican (1634-1867)
  • New Hampshire: Congregationalist (1539-1877)
  • South Carolina: Protestant (1778-1868)
    This demonstrates that the concept of a Christian nation was deeply embedded in America's early identity, with religious freedom often understood within a Christian context.

Modern Ecumenism. While American Christianity has diversified since its founding, modern Christian Nationalism seeks to reestablish states that recognize Jesus Christ as King and base state government and laws on general Christian faith and morality. It is a call to return to America's original Christian heritage, rejecting the notion that secular pluralism is the historical norm. Denying this Christian founding is seen as a willful distortion of history.

3. The Great Commission: Discipling Nations for Christ's Kingdom

A Christian is a disciple of Jesus Christ who seeks to take dominion in all areas of life by obeying His commandment in the Great Commission to disciple all nations.

Love for Neighbor and Nation. Christian Nationalism is fundamentally about loving one's neighbor, which extends to fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ. This love manifests as protecting them from foreign interests, alien worldviews, and hostile invaders, prioritizing the well-being of one's home and people. It is not idolatry of the nation or its founders, nor is it a movement of racial or national supremacy; rather, it is the active living out of God's Word to disciple all nations.

America's Spiritual State. The movement believes America is currently under God's righteous judgment due to its rebellion and sin. Christian Nationalists seek to change this by calling the nation to repentance and a return to God. They affirm that while Christ's Kingdom is not of this world, He holds all authority on earth and has commanded His followers to disciple all nations, including America.

Beyond "Judeo-Christian." The book explicitly rejects the term "Judeo-Christian," arguing that Christianity and modern Judaism are distinct and irreconcilable religions. It asserts that Christianity is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant, and modern Judaism, based on the Talmud, was formed after the rejection of Christ. This theological distinction is not born of ethnic animus but a heartfelt concern for the salvation of all people, including Jews, through faith in Jesus Christ.

4. Building a Parallel Christian Society: The Ark for a Fallen World

We are not seeking to take command of a sinking ship, but rather we are building the ark alongside it in preparation for the coming rain.

A Great Restoration. Recognizing that worldly institutions have been temporarily conquered by secular humanists, Christian Nationalists aim for a "Great Restoration" rather than a "Great Reset." This involves building parallel Christian systems and institutions—in business, technology, education, and social networks—that are beyond the influence and control of existing "demonic ones." These new systems are to be built on the firm foundation of faith in Jesus Christ and the Truth of God's Word, mirroring America's original founding principles.

Exiting the Corrupt System. The strategy involves a gradual but decisive exit from the secular system. Instead of focusing solely on earning positions in the highest levels of power, the movement prioritizes building things that matter:

  • Alternative social networks (like Gab.com)
  • Payment processing services
  • Marketplaces and advertising platforms
  • Video hosting and conferencing
    This infrastructure is designed to fill the vacuum when the existing secular liberal state inevitably self-destructs, allowing for a rebuilding on Christian foundations.

Long-Term Vision. This approach is a "long game," requiring multi-generational effort and commitment. It means refusing to participate in the wicked system, faithfully discipling families, protecting youth, and reclaiming local government. The goal is to create a Christian society, economy, and infrastructure that will endure, ensuring that faith is essential to the culture of the nation and that all nations ultimately worship Jesus Christ.

5. Waging Spiritual War: Truth, Dissent, and Masculine Faith

This is a spiritual war. They are targeting our very humanity.

Truth in a Post-Truth World. In a world where objective truth is rejected and God's creation is inverted, Christian Nationalists are called to boldly defend self-evident truths: the sanctity of life, the holiness of marriage, and God's design for men and women. This means speaking God's Word loudly and often, even when labeled "hateful" or "bigoted." The enemy's "shame words" are to be rendered powerless, and tolerance for sin is rejected, as God has zero tolerance for it.

Spiritual Weapons and Dissent. The battle is spiritual, requiring spiritual weapons like prayer, communal worship, fasting, and God's Word. Christians are called to be bold dissenters, refusing to bend to the demands of the "Regime" and its anti-human values such as:

  • Abortion and child sacrifice
  • Moral decay and sexual degeneracy
  • Destruction of the nuclear family
  • Persecution of Christians
    Dissent, rooted in preserving liberty and living authentically by God's Word, is impossible without freedom of speech, which Christians must defend at all costs.

Masculine Christianity. The movement calls for an end to "emasculated, retreatist, 'tolerant' Christianity." It advocates for a masculine, patriarchal, crusader "Jesus is King" revival, where Christian men embrace their God-given masculine energy to conquer and lead. This involves actively hating sin and evil, refusing to compromise on the Gospel, protecting the unborn and children, and speaking truth in love, even in the face of persecution.

6. Rejecting Lukewarm Christianity: Embracing a Triumphant Faith

The time for lukewarm Christianity is over. Christians need to rise up and proclaim the name of Jesus Christ the King of Kings to the world.

Beyond Nominal Faith. Many Americans identify as Christian but live worldly lives, prioritizing careers and material desires over God. This "lukewarm Christianity" often embraces critical theory and "woke" ideologies, worshipping idols like celebrities and politicians, and seeking comfort over the courage required for an authentic Christian life. The movement asserts that this era must end, calling Christians to make Jesus Christ their central identity and live fully according to God's Word.

Protecting the Next Generation. A primary objective of the enemy is the indoctrination of children into demonic secular humanism. Christian parents are urged to take decisive action to prevent this:

  • Cut cable and cancel streaming services
  • Delete Big Tech accounts
  • Homeschool children if possible
  • Spend daily time in God's Word
    Living a Biblical worldview oneself is presented as the best way to raise children with that same worldview, ensuring they are not vulnerable to the enemy's influence.

Builders and Pioneers. Christians are called to be reformers, builders, and pioneers, establishing nuclear families, raising children to love the Lord, and building sovereign businesses and infrastructure. This requires a multi-generational commitment to combat the "subversive takeover of every facet of society" by the global elite. The movement emphasizes that God has a plan for victory, but it requires organized, peaceful, and long-term effort from His people, refusing to tolerate evil and the spirit of the antichrist.

7. An Eschatology of Victory: Christ's Present Reign and Future Hope

Jesus Christ’s authority and rule over this earth is not far off into the future, it is here and now.

Overcoming Defeatism. A crucial task for Christian Nationalists is to reject the pessimistic eschatology that the world will inevitably worsen until Christ's return. This "eschatology of defeat," popularized by figures like John Nelson Darby and C.I. Scofield in the 19th century with concepts like the "rapture," is seen as a novel theology that supplanted the optimistic, hopeful expectation of earlier Christians. This shift is linked to the decline of the church's cultural influence, as a belief in imminent destruction discourages long-term building.

Biblical Optimism. For the first 1800 years of church history, Christians held diverse eschatological views but shared an optimism about the gospel's future success. They believed in God's promises that "all the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord" (Ps. 22:27-28) and that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord" (Hab. 2:14). This hope fueled the building of Christendom, inspiring generations to establish Christian nations and institutions.

Christ Reigns Now. The core of this victorious eschatology is the belief that Jesus Christ presently rules over heaven and earth, having received "All authority" (Matt. 28:18) at His ascension. His Kingdom is here, expanding like leaven or a mustard seed. Passages often cited by "Doomers" (like Matthew 24 and Revelation) are reinterpreted as prophecies concerning the destruction of the Old Covenant and the Temple in 70 AD, which vindicated Jesus as the true Prophet and should inspire confidence, not despair, in the Church's ultimate victory.

8. The Church's Duty: Celebrating Victories and Confronting Cowardice

If your pastor has been silent, you don’t just have the right to find a new church, you have a duty to do so.

Silence on Victory. The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, a monumental victory for the pro-life movement, exposed deep issues within American evangelicalism. Many church leaders remained silent or even chided congregants for celebrating, citing reasons like avoiding "politics" or maintaining a "sensitive witness." This is seen as a profound failure, as it ignores Christ's kingship over all aspects of life and the moral imperative to speak on issues of public righteousness, such as the legal murder of millions of babies.

Cowardice and People-Pleasing. The book argues that such silence stems from cowardice and a desire to please men rather than God. These "hireling" leaders prioritize church growth strategies and the accolades of secular media over faithfully preaching God's Word and confronting sin. By refusing to preach against abortion or celebrate its overturning, they are seen as withholding God's grace from women who desperately need repentance and forgiveness, effectively leaving them in their sin while feigning compassion.

Finding a Faithful Shepherd. The widespread non-reaction to the Roe decision is presented as illustrative of the "deep problems within evangelicalism." Christians are urged to recognize that leaders who were silent or compromised during such a significant spiritual and cultural battle are not true shepherds. Therefore, faithful Christians who rejoice in God's victories have not just a right, but a duty to seek out and join churches led by courageous pastors who are committed to God's Word and His commands.

9. Total Victory is Inevitable: A Multi-Generational Conquest

Our victory is inevitable because the war was already won on the cross.

Holistic Transformation. The Christian Nationalist movement understands that political engagement is only one facet of a broader, spiritual war. True victory begins with individual repentance and a focus on Jesus Christ, extending to the family as the backbone of the nation. This involves reclaiming pulpits, reforming churches, and embracing an optimistic eschatology. The strategy is to reclaim local townships, school boards, and counties, then state legislatures, and ultimately the entire nation.

Building Godly Infrastructure. The movement advocates for a complete exit from the "beast system" by building a parallel Christian society. This includes:

  • Supporting and growing Christian-owned businesses
  • Developing and utilizing Christian technology and media
  • Creating Christian education systems
    This infrastructure will be ready to fill the vacuum when the existing secular system collapses, ensuring a foundation built on Christ.

A Legacy for Generations. This is a multi-generational spiritual war, requiring long-term planning and commitment. The vision includes raising sons to be strong, capable Christian men—versed in the Classics and the Bible, skilled in practical trades, and prepared to lead and take dominion for God's glory. The movement emphasizes unity across Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox denominations against shared antichrist worldviews, asserting that unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, who already won the war on the cross, guarantees ultimate victory.
